A dirt-under-the-fingernails workhorse, but she needs some sprucing up!

OK, when did you build a working time machine and can I borrow it? Awesome capture, thanks so much for sharing with the community!

I have a sister unit in N scale somewhere, Atlas with a Kato drive. I've always liked this paint scheme, and a real SD-7, wow.

I know, first gen SD! I'm used to SD9s on the old BN but the SP unit is something special. That's cool how you have a model! I have a dummy BN SD9 on display to remind me of the good old daze!

I've also got one in the original "Black Widow" paint scheme, as well as a "Bloody Nose" U50. I was heavily into N scale in the 1990ies, but mostly Central Vermont ([link] ) and CN/CP.
